SPONGE FISHING.

The best living sponge is found,
usually, at a depth of eight or ten
fathoms of water, but is known to
exist at greater depths; one variety
has been found, in the gulf of Maori,
alta depth of one hundred and eighty
five fathoms. An inferior sponge is
found on the coasts of Florida and
the West Indies two species of
better quality are brought from the
Levant. The Turks and the inhabit-
ants of the Bahama Islands do
large trade in sponge, and crews OF
between four and five thousand fish
ermen are attached to aboutsix hun
dred boats, which are chiefly en-
gagged in the sponge fishery along the
coast of Syria, Gambia and Barbary.
The divers take down with them q
stone of triangular shape, pierced
and fastened to rope at one angle,
the rope is attached to rope above,
and the diver, by means of this stone
and rope, manages to reach the
sponges, which he tears from the
rocks and places under his arms
when ready to ascend he signals to
the men in the boat, by pulling on
the rope, and they pull him up.
This is the most effectual mode of OBJ
tanning sponge, although the Greeks
of the Morea, obtain it by means of q
pronged instrument, which, howev-
er, tears the spcnges and reduces
their value. A coarser kind of sponge
is found about the Bahama and West
India Islands, of which about two
hundred and fifteen thousand pounds
are sent annually to great Britain.
There is species of sponge familiar
to British shores which is almost
tree-like in its form, with numerous
branches. There is also fresh-Wa-
ter sponge which grows to the height
of a foot and is divided into many
branches, but its texture is so delicate
that the slightest handling tears it;
it has also a foul odor, resembling
that of stagnant bitches.

A FAIRY STORY 2,4O0 YEARS
OLD.-Not one sweet girl in $4,000
knows the origin of her babyhood
friend, Cinderella. Somebody tells
US that Cinderella's real name was
Rhodope, and she was beautiful
Egyptian maiden, who liyed 670
years before the common era and
during the reign of Psammeticus,
one of the twelve kings OF Egypt.
One day Rhodope ventured to 60 in
bathing in clear stream near her
home, and meanwhile left her shoes,
which must have been unusually
small, lying on the bank. An eagle
passing above chanced to catch sight
of the little sandals, and, mistaking
them for toothsome tid-bit, pounced
down and carried one off in his beak:
The bird then unwittingly played
the part of fairy godmother; for tiy-
ing directly over Memphis, where
King Psammeticus was dispensing
Justice, he let the shoe fall right into
the kings lap. Its size, beauty and
daintiness Immediately attracted the
royal eye, and the king, determined
upon knowing the wearer of so cum
ming a shoe, sent through all his king
dom in search of the foot that would
fit it. The messenger finally dis
covered Rhodope, fitted on the shoe,
and carried her in triumph to Mem
phis where she became the queen
of King Psammeticus.

THE GENIUS FOR BUSINESS.

One of the hardest things to under
stand is the value that is accorded to
financial ability that is that intui-
tive acumen and foresight which en-
ables man to determine what is and
what is not a desirable enterprise or
investment, and to arrange the means
of securing profitable returns when
the enterprise orinvestment isenter-
ed upon. And yet, in great many
cases, the possession of this gift con-
stitutes the difference between sue
cess and failure. There are some
men who are positive geniuses in
this direction, and who, as the saying
is, if they were to start peanut
stand with capital of 81, would, in
five,years' time, be relatively wealthy
individuals.
A case illustrative of the value of
this mental ability occurred not long
ago in this city. One of the partners
of a firm possessed this peculiar apti-
tude, and his judgment was implic-
lily relied upon by those associated
with him. TO the outside observer
he was, apparently, the fifth wheel
of the coach, coming down and going
from his sofhce at pleasure, and. when
there, loafing about with his hands
in his pockets, while his partners
were Shaving it from early to late,
drumming up trade or working over
bills and accounts. But when, by
change in the business, this apparent
ly useless member left the concern,
those who remained found that they
had parted with the one who had
given the confidence and profit to
their operations. The responsibility
thrown upon the others of judging of
what to do and what not to do was
found to be onerous in the extreme,
and, what is more, the decisions ar
rived at were by no means as satls-
factory as they had been. Now, on
the ordinary estimates of work it is
difficult to gauge the value of services
of this kind. The judgment of such
a man may be invaluable, for with
out it profitable chances may pass
unrecognized. It appears to be a
gift of nature, like the poetical or
musical talent, only if it is properly
employed it ordinarily brings in to
its possessor larger material results.

THE COTTON PLANT.

The cotton plant is child of the
sun. Its natural habitation is in the
tropical regions of Asia, Africa and
America, but it has been acclimated
and cultivated as far north as the
thirty-sixth degree of latitude. Its
cultivation covers very large por-
ton of our globe. In the eastern
hemisphere its range OF cultivation
extends from southern Europe to the
north to the Cape of Good Hope on
the south; in the western hemis-
phere from Virginia to southern Bra
zil. It has been most successfully
cultivated, however, between the
thirtieth and thirty-ffth degrees
north latitude. Humboldt found it
growing in the Andes at an eleva-
ton of 5000 feet, and in Mexico at
$500 feet. Boyle reports it cultivat-
ed at an elevation of 1900 feet in the
Himalaya. Such.elevations, hoWev-
er, are not favorable to its best devel-
opment. Botanically cotton belongs
to the natural order of malvac9,
genus gossypium. Botanists differ
as to its proper classification into
species some enumerating as many
as ten species, others seven, and 9TH
ers only three, as necessary to clear
discrimination between the distinct
i've characteristics recognizable, after
making due allowances for differ
ences resulting from soil and climat-
ic influences.
The history of the cotton plant an
tedates in its beginnings the COM
mercial annals of the human family.
India seems to have been the most
ancient cotton growing country.
For five centuries before the Chris
tian era her inhabitants were clothed
in cotton goods of domestic manu-
facture from the fiber grown upon
her own soil by her own crude meth
ods.
Notwithstanding the proximity OF
China to India, it was not until the
Eleventh century that the cotton
plant became an object of common
culture in China. The first mention
made of cotton in the records was
200 years before the Christian era.
From that time down to the Seventh
century it is mentioned not as an
object of industry, but one of interest
and curiosity; an occupant Of the
flower garden, the beauty of its How
ers being celebrated in poetry. In
the Eleventh century field culture of
cotton commenced in China, but oW-
ing to the opposition of the people
especially those engaged in growing
and manufacturing wool and fax,
it was not until 1868 that the cultiva-
ton and manufacture of cotton were
we'll established.
Central and South America and
the West Indies grew and manufac-
tured cotton long before their discov-
cry by Columbus, who found the
plant under cultivation, and the peo-
pie using fabrics made from the
staple. At the conquest of Mexico
by Cortes, in 1919, he found that the
clothing of the Mexicans consisted
principally of cotton goods; the ma
tives of Yucatan presented him with
cotton garments and cloths for COW
erings for his huts, while Montezu-
ma presented him with curtains,
and robes of cotton, fine as !

HIS GOD HERE?n

A young man had been extremely
profane, and thought little of the
matter. After his marrige to high
minded, lovely wife, the habit ap-
peared to him in a different light,
and he made spasmodic efforts to
conquer it. But not until few
months ago did he become victor,
when the glowing evil was set before
him, by little incident, in its real
and shocking sinfulness.
One Sunday morning standing be-
fore the mirror shaving, the razor
slipped, inflicting a slight wound.
True to his fixed habit he calculated
the single word "God !" and was not
a little amazed and chagrined to see
reflected in the mirror the pretty pic
ture of his little three year old daugh-
ter, as laying her dolly down she
sprang from her seat on the floor !;
exclaiming as she looked eagerly and
expectantly about thereon, "Is bod
here2" ....a...... .a..s.
Pale and ashamed, and at a loss
for better answer, he simply said,
"Why 2"
"'Cause I thought he was when I
heard you speak to him."
Then noticing the sober look on
his face and the tears of shame in his
eyes as he gazed down into the inno-
cent radiant face, she patted him
lovingly on the hand, exclaiming as
suringly, "Call him again, papa, and
I dess he surely come"
Oh! how every syllable of the
child's trusting words cut to the
heart! The still, small voice was
heard at last. Catching the wonder
ing child up in his arms he knelt
down, and for the first time in his
life implored of God forgiveness for
past offences and guidance for all his
future life, thanking Him in fervent
spirit that he had not "surely come"
before, in answer to some of his aw-
full blasphemies. Surely, "a little
child shall lead them."--Pacifc
Methodist.

Egypt seems not to have either
cultivated cotton or used its fabrics
at a very early date, since the cloths
in which mummies were enveloped
were of flax instead of cotton. In
deed it appears that those nations
which were early celebrated for their
manufacture of fine linen were slow
to substitute the cotton for the flax.
Spain was the first of the European
states to grow cotton. It was intro
duced there by the Moors in the
Tenth century. The first cotton
was planted in the United States in
1921. "Carroll's Historical Collec-
tions of South Carolina" mentions
the growth of the cotton plant in that
province in 1866. In 1876 it was
planted in gardens in Talbot county,
Maryland, latitude 80 north. At the
commencement of the Revolutionary
war Gen. Delegall was said to have
had thirty acres planted in cotton
near Savannah, Ga. It is stated that
in 174S, among the exports of Charles
ton, S. c., were seven bags Of cotton
wool, valued at 93 lis. and sd. bag.
Another small shipment was made
in 1854, and in ITO three more,
amounting to ten bales. In 1874
eight bales shipped to England were
seized on the ground that so much
cotton could not be produced in the
United States.
The first Sea Island cotton was
grown on the coast of Georgia in
1856, and its expectation commenced
in 1888, by Alexander Bissel, of st.
Simons Island. In 1791 the cotton
crop of the United States was 2,000,-
900 pounds, of which three-fourths
was grown in South Carolina and
one:fourth in Georgia, ten years
later, 1901, $4,000, 900 pounds were
produced-2O, 900, 900 pounds of which
was exported.-Prof. j. S. Ne,onan.

NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE" "

The following extract relating to
this hymn is taken from a recent
ly published work entitled, "The
Methodist Hymn Book, illustrated
with Biography, History Incident

the British Museum Library. The
following is part of the first para

"Sarah Fuller Flower was the
daughter of BENJAMIN Flower, an
eminent politician, editor and pro-
prietor of the Cambridge MtelHgen.
Ger, who, being early left a widower,
conducted the education of his two
daughters, of whom Sarah was the
younger, born February %, 1905. In
1884, when residing with her sister
at Clapton, she became acquainted
with William Bridges Adams, an
eminent engineer, to whom she was
afterwards married. She began to
write prose and verse in early life
and continued to do so the end of
her life. Naturally of a delicate con-
stitution, her health was enfeebled
by watching over her sister, who
died of consumption in 1S47. From
the shock then endured she never
recovered, and the same disease car
ried her off in August, 1S49. She
was attached to the Unitarians, and

saw my own gallant and true hearted
Will.
1t was about 4:30 in the afternoon. I

bracken, jumping from stone to stone,

became my sweetheart-"I saw tall girl
of 1G, who might have been 20, with blue
eyes and an oval face-the sweetest face
in the world. She carried sun bonnet in
her hand, and she wore tight fitting
frock."
''If had known who was coming"
said, 81 should have put on my Sunday
frock."
"Your Sunday frock!" he cried, in his
foolish way; twhy, what could be more
lovely than my woodland nymph, flying
to meet us, up to her arms in the fern,
bare headed, her hands filled with flowers,
her eyes with smiles, and her pretty mouth
with song? Sunday frock Leave Sun

'See miss and madam lay their snares,

But this talk came afterward.
When met them in the path, as I fin
ished my run down the slope, I stopped
short, shamefaced, being unused to the
sight of strangers.
"Pleasance," said Dan, "this young
gentleman is coming to stay awhile at tlte
farm; can you help to amuse him, think
you:''
II assure Miss Gulliver," said the
gentleman, taking off his hat to me,
'that 1 shall give us little trouble as pos

in silence. Truth to say, I was not best
pleased with the prospect of a strange man
in the house. Like all wild things, I loved
solitude. Dan carried valise, and the
young man carried a wooden case.
1t was not till after we got home, and I
had brushed my hair, and put on another
frock, and come down stairs again, that I
saw what manner Of man our guest was.
No one must think that was so pre-
sumptuous as to fall in love with him.

years Of age; he was tall and rather slight
in figure; his eyes were brown, and from
